Getting it Down and Up

Last week, I cleaned up the leaves and raked up the dirt in our flowerpots, window boxes and our 3' x 3' plot of dirt with a little trowel. We picked up these seeds to go into some of our windowboxes and also got gifted with some nice Italian basil.
This year, I think it's pretty flowers and herbs - I have rosemary, mint and chives from years past and maybe I'll plant bay, lavender, marjoram, thyme and what else? A little salad bed with some parlseys and of course a some peppers for salsa and grilling and tomatoes. Always tomatoes.

Psyched that the mint I lifted from a wild patch in Pennsylvania last Spring, below, is bursting up, full and heady already.
